So what should we know about firewood in Vicksburg Mississippi? Most folks know that good Vicksburg MS firewood should be seasoned. That means since it was cut from the tree, it's been sitting in a dry spot for at least a year. The alternative to that is green wood, which certainly isn't as good for burning.

The standard bulk measurement for firewood in Vicksburg MS, a cord, can be made into about 160 to 180 bundles of Vicksburg Mississippi firewood. Those bundles you pick up at the grocery store run at about five dollars. 160 bundles at 5 dollars each is $800. That, in case you don't know, is a very expensive cord of firewood in Vicksburg MS.All the cost of checking the quality of the Vicksburg Mississippi firewood, shipping it, separating it out, packaging it, plus the store's markup adds to the cost you pay for the convenience of picking your Vicksburg MS firewood up at the end of your grocery run.

If you decide you want to go with the most common measurement, a cord, that is to say, 4 foot by 4 foot by 8 foot stack of Vicksburg MS firewood, you should keep a few things in mind. The larger the cut of firewood in Vicksburg Mississippi you get, the denser the stack will be.

There's also the type of wood to take into account. Most studies show that different types of dried wood, say oak and pine, have the same heat output. They'll both keep you nice and toasty. However, oak is denser Vicksburg MS firewood than pine, so the actual burning material in a piece of oak is greater. In that sense, the heat output would be higher.
